So how do you explain the reports about the ammouncement about the changes being at Board Room Level?

I hate to say it but my guess is Mr. Fiszman's illness is now quite serious and he is going to step away altogther from the running of the club. It is a shame for anyone and the people they love and who love them to suffer from such an awful nasty disease.

What else this may mean is anyone's guess.

If it's regarding Fitszman then it's got to be Kroenke but surely he can't afford it at the moment. I'd say it's more likely to be Bracewell-Smith.

Could be but Board Room Level would suggest either an addition or additions to the or a departure or departures from it more than any major new ownership issues - especially as sales have to be announced publicly on the stock exchange as they happen.

Another possibility could be Mr. Wenger being formally offered a seat on the Board? It's been rumored before and certainly that would protect any plans among the major shareholders on the Board now.

This would open up a whole new set of questions but not necessarily new answers unfortunately.

Evening USMartin.

But Nigel Brown said that it was 'good news', didn't he.

Can't see Fiszman leaving being good news, nor can I see Usmanov coming on board as being 'good news' from the Arsenal PLC point of view.

I'm thinking it's just that Lady BS has found a buyer for her shares, and the stale-mate/stagnation will continue.

Of course I would love it to be Usmanov and David Dein returning, especially thinking about the possibility of Usmanov splashing his cash, like he offered to before.

If it's anything to do with the board then I pray that Usmanov takes over, because he is the only one likely to have the balls to get Wenger out and get the club moving forward again.

Agreed to an extent mate but I wouldn't want to be in a situation of spending crazy money on overrated players and sacking any manager within a season. Usmanov on the board with Dein back as an influence, but not in full control, would be ideal IMO because he'd be an influence but not a controlling one.
